Submitting your news

The Reformer welcomes your news items. The Reformer prefers e-mail submissions. Since not all items can be e-mailed, faxes may be sent to 802-257-1305; news items may also be mailed to Brattleboro Reformer, Attn: News Department, 62 Black Mountain Rd., Brattleboro, VT 05301.

When e-mailing, keep in mind:

* Send us news items at least 7 days in advance of the event. The Reformer cannot guarantee publication of items received later than that.

* Briefer is better. Items of 300 words or less are preferred.

* In the e-mail subject line, use a two- or three-word description and give a date of the event, if there is one. For instance, Church Spaghetti Supper, Nov. 30.

* Do not send us attachments; avoid sending HTML-coded text, signature lines and e-mail backgrounds/stationary. Copy and paste the plain text into the body of the e-mail.

* To send a photo, e-mail it to news@reformer.com.

* When writing your news release, make sure these basic questions are answered: What is it? Who's doing it? When is it? Where is it? Who do readers contact?
